Linda Marric

Daily Mirror (UK)

Although the storyline itself is not always entirely coherent, it is never boring, and is both handsomely acted and full of charming and surreal moments.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

For me, the 83-minute running time seemed to drag out into a lifetime.

Jason Best

Marie Claire

A defiantly quirky, gently funny ode to female friendship and artistic aspiration... with a streak of self-effacing humour dispelling any whiff of self-indulgence.

Thomas White

Battle Royale With Cheese

The overall tone feels noncommittal, not quite managing to integrate the comedy with straight drama. Frustratingly it leaves us hanging somewhere in the middle.

Rich Cline

Shadows on the Wall

There's a wonderfully wry sense of humour woven into this engaging drama about a privileged young Londoner simply trying to make something of her life.

Rated: 3.5/5
